Messing up birth control pills

Okay so in the beginning of nov I started on my period pills, and had unprotected sex a few days later. On my first day of my period I had sex and did for a few days after. I realized I didn't have anymore birth control after that so in total maybe misses 6 days of bc. I was supposed to start yesterday. I have cramps but they are not period cramps. I've been very tired and I'm a little nervous. I just want to know how long I should wait to test and how worried I really should be.

No I have been on the pills for about 3 years now. I just missed about 3 of the last week and then started on my sugar pills. When my period was over on the 29, I didn't have a new pack of bc so I made an apt and got it a few days later. But thank you that helps

When you started your pills the beginning of Nov was this the first time you've ever taken them? I'm asking because with some pills you need to use a back up method the first month. I would think your Dr would have told you this though that were the case.
Are you taking the ones that have the 7 day sugar pills? If so, you may have ovulated during those days. Not all women ovulate in the middle of their cycles.
Give it a couple more days and if you have'nt started take a test. The pill can mess with your period too so that may be what's going on. If you don't start and get a negative pregnancy test give your Dr a call to see if you should start your new pack of pills.
